Transport execution
Close the execution blind spot 

Ready to move from spreadsheets to a centralized solution? 

Manual processes struggle to scale as a business grows and the trading environment becomes more complex, often leading to miscommunication, mistakes, and fines. If you’ve outgrown spreadsheets, calls, and emails, Alpega Transport Execution provides a ready-made solution that handles thousands of loads per day.  

• One centralized platform gives visibility and control. 
• Reduce processing times up to 50% and achieve up to 99% customer satisfaction.   
• Shore up and fortify your carrier relationships by easily connecting your carrier network. 
• Break your On Time In Full records. 

Have a sophisticated TMS but limited execution capabilities?  

Native connectivity to carriers is often the missing piece in enterprise TMS deployments, leaving day-to-day collaboration fragmented. If you've invested in a sophisticated TMS but still struggle with connecting to your carrier network, Alpega Transport Execution solves that problem from day one. 

• One seamless connection and interface to your existing carrier network, plus access to a network of 80,000+ vetted carriers (from within your TMS) 
• No need to build or maintain complex carrier connections 
• Shipper pays model ensures capacity and fosters better shipper/carrier relationships

Multi-site shipper replacing email and spreadsheets 

A chemicals company runs road transport from several plants and DCs, working with 5–40 carriers per region. Today, planners assign carriers and book slots via email and phone, and no one has a clear view of where trucks really are. 
With Alpega Transport Execution: 

• Planners assign carriers and reserve time slots in a single workspace. 
• Checkpoints capture arrival, loading, departure and delivery with location timestamps. 
• ePOD, photos and damage codes are stored against each shipment. 

The team spots delays earlier, OTIF and SLA performance improve, and disputes about waiting time or damage are backed by clear evidence, not email threads and screenshots. 

LTL and multi-stop flows under control 

An agri business sends frequent LTL shipments to many customers. The ERP decides which orders should ride together, but execution is handled manually, so loads are often late or incomplete. 
With Alpega Transport Execution supporting LTL call-offs and multi-stop trips, the ERP passes consolidation decisions into the system, which then: 

• Communicates grouped loads to carriers. 
• Tracks events on each stop. 
• Attaches the correct POD and cost to every delivery. 

The company keeps the ERP for planning but gains clean, reliable execution data across all stops. 

Fast rollout by plant or DC 

A building materials supplier wants better control at its busiest DCs but can’t risk disruption. 
Alpega Transport Execution is rolled out one site at a time: 

• Standard API patterns connect to the existing SAP landscape. 
• Carriers join through a web portal; smaller fleets use driver mobile for ePOD. 
• Planners work from a single, simple screen for carrier assignment, slots and status. 

Each site goes live in weeks. The ERP and planning tools stay in place; the execution gap between plan and reality is closed without a multi-year project. 

Avoiding the IT backlog 

A packaging manufacturer has a long IT backlog and limited internal development capacity. 
Because Alpega Transport Execution uses predefined integrations and a cloud deployment, operations can lead the project with IT in a supporting role. The company avoids an expensive ERP customisation but still gets standardised execution, clean data and faster month-end.  

Start with execution, add Smart Booking when ready 

A paper and packaging company begins by using Alpega Transport Execution for carrier collaboration, checkpoints and ePOD. Once execution is stable, they add Smart Booking to reduce queues at docks and better control loading capacity. 
Because both sit on the same platform, dock-level slot optimisation feeds directly into the execution flow. The company avoids buying separate tools and gets one data set for performance reporting. 

Working next to an existing TMS 

An oil and energy company has already invested in a TMS for planning and rating but lacks native connections to many regional carriers. 
Alpega Transport Execution is added as the execution and carrier-connectivity layer: 

• The TMS continues to plan and rate loads. 
• Alpega Transport Execution handles carrier assignment, communication, checkpoints, ePOD and event-based costs. 

The company makes the most of its TMS investment and fixes day-to-day problems like missed windows, unclear responsibilities and poor cost capture. 

Clean audit trail and fewer disputes 

A mining company struggles to reconcile invoices because proof of waiting time, redeliveries and special gear is inconsistent. Claims drag on for weeks and year-end audits are painful. 
With Alpega Transport Execution, accessorials are captured at the event with payer, reason and proof (including photos when needed). Finance receives a complete cost and document package per shipment, which shortens closing and reduces disputes with both carriers and customers. 

Neutral model that keeps carriers engaged 

Because carriers are not charged platform fees, they don’t have to hide technology costs in their freight rates. Procurement gets a clearer view of lane costs, and carriers are more willing to keep capacity for the shipper, especially in tight markets. 
Over time, this neutral, shipper-pays model – combined with fewer fines, faster claim closure and less custom development – leads to a structurally lower cost per shipment and a lower total cost of ownership than either carrier-pay marketplaces or heavily customised ERP modules.
